US Secretary of State Antony Blinken ended his visit to Israel on the 19th and is currently visiting Egypt. This is Blinken's ninth visit to the Middle East since the new round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict broke out on October 7 last year. As a staunch ally of Israel, Blinken visited the Middle East this time and declared that the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza had reached a "decisive moment." Is this really the case? What is hindering the negotiations? Blinken's ninth visit to the Middle East, why is the role of the US mediator questioned? Let's take a look at the observation report just sent back by CCTV's frontline reporter.

Blinken says Israel has accepted new US ceasefire proposal

CCTV reporter Wang Yin: On the 19th local time, US Secretary of State Blinken, who was visiting Israel, met with Israeli President Herzog, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Galant. After intensive talks, the US and Israel once again sent out positive signals of reaching a ceasefire agreement. For example, Netanyahu said that the meeting with Blinken was "positive and the atmosphere was harmonious"; Blinken also claimed that Israel has accepted the latest US proposal on a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of detained persons, and called on Hamas to make the same response.

Hamas says Blinken's remarks are a new trick by the US

CCTV reporter Wang Yin: In response, the Hamas media office issued a statement on the same day saying that Blinken's remarks were a new trick by the US to circumvent the agreement reached by Hamas and Israel on July 2. The statement also said that the new proposal was modified to favor Israel, and then Israel announced its acceptance of the proposal and said it was waiting for Hamas's consent. This was an attempt by the US to shift pressure from Israel and let Hamas bear the responsibility for the final failure of the negotiations. The statement also said that all of Blinken's actions were to give Israel more opportunities and time to carry out the killing.
